Re: James Horrocks Dawson 1849 to 1925

Allan,I emailed the person who sent me the file and she said that the family came here - had children in NSW, moved to victoria and had more and then went back to england for a while and then returned' so they had several arrivals listed and all of them are the same family I got confused with the same thing to start with James baptism may have been at Goulburn but that doesn't mean he was actually born there but he could have been

she didnt know about the Anne (2) whose baptisms I had sent you and as there is no mothers maiden name I dont know whether they belong to this family or not The only reason it was of interest is because one of them was at Goulburn where you mentioned James was born

The immigration record which mentions him is James coming back into the country from England with his parents/siblings

Hope you can understand what I mean as hard to explain

Jean There is no birth rego for him in NSW records but civil registration came in 1856 and even then there are missing records Unless you can get a baptism record from the church in gouburn I dont know how you will be able to find where he was born unless it is listed in a family BDM certificate
